Mesa men down Regis behind senior guard Mathews

Ryan Mathews has played several roles for the Mesa State College men’s basketball team.

Saturday night, the senior guard was the leader.

Mathews scored a career-high 33 points to lead the Mavericks to a 78-69 RMAC victory over Regis on Saturday night at the Regis Fieldhouse. Most of his damage didn’t come from the 3-point line. It came from the free-throw line, where he made 14 of 16 shots.

“Ryan had a fantastic game,” Mesa State associate head coach Andy Shantz said. “He really carried us. It was fun to watch Ryan. He played great. He did a great job attacking the basket.”
